Love is: Moving Your Body
6x6 inch acrylic painting on a 2 inch deep cradled panel. Edges are painted black. Painting comes wired on the back and ready to hang right on the wall, no framing required.
My six year old was sitting on my lap most of the time I was painting this. He is obsessed with both Star Wars and Avengers, so it really came as no surprise when he said, "Mom, what if you had powers and you could use the force and just zap! your painting would be done??" I love his creative mind. But the truth is, I wouldn't wish that at all. The magic of painting, for me, is not just having the finished product, but the fun of mixing the colors and applying big globs of paint and shading the subject and filling in the negative space with shapes. Like so many other things we do with our bodies or minds, the joy isn't in the destination, it's in the movement on the journey of getting there.
